Scottish Police Services Authority: Encouraging progress but still some way to go

Audit Scotland has published its findings into the Scottish Police Services Authority.

It concludes the organisation ‘has made improvements to services like criminal justice, training and forensics since its creation in 2007 but is currently unable to meet all the information communication technology (ICT) needs of its customers'.

John Lamont MSP, Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Justice, said:

"Our police forces need to be able to keep up to date with the most modern forms of communication, which can better help deter and detect crime. In these hugely difficult economic times, it is even more vital the support infrastructure for officers on the beat is absolutely correct.

"Whilst I am concerned the SPSA is yet to meet its targets, there has been some encouraging recent progress and we hope this continues."
